Half-Wall
Princess Zhu Ning‑Xi has spent her whole life confined inside the luxurious yet cold palace walls. When she meets Shen Qing‑Ci, the bold and fearless daughter of General Shen, a quiet love blooms secretly between them that they dare not reveal to anyone.
Behind the prosperous‑looking imperial court lies a deadly conspiracy. Zhao He‑Ting, the formidable head of the Eastern‑Depot, is a surviving orphan from the fallen former dynasty. He was sheltered by the collateral relatives of Noble Consort Zhou and has spent decades laying low, waiting for a chance to avenge his old regime.
After finding out the deep‑seated bond between Zhu Ning‑Xi and Shen Qing‑Ci, Zhao He‑Ting plans to manipulate them. He frames General Shen for treason to force the two women into his trap.
Knowing how dangerous their enemy is, Shen Qing‑Ci chooses to investigate his hidden history alone, hiding crucial evidence from Zhu Ning‑Xi to keep her safe from deadly conflicts. Ning‑Xi, sheltered within the palace, can only wait anxiously and cling to their promise of being inseparable.
Court politics, hidden allies in the imperial harem and secret forces from beyond the border push them toward a bitter fate. Shen Qing‑Ci holds a trump‑card she refuses to share, prepared to sacrifice herself to shield the princess.
Can they defeat the powerful conspiracy? Or will their tender love be crushed under the weight of imperial revenge?
